ONTO/ON TO |

“Onto” and “on to” are often interchangeable, but not always. Consider
the effect created by wrongly using “onto” in the following sentence
when “on to” is meant: “We’re having hors d’oeuvres in the garden, and
for dinner moving onto the house.” If the “on” is part of an expression
like “moving on” it can’t be shoved together with a “to” that just
happens to follow it.
